Scorecard – Channel Post Launch Evaluation

Most channel launches are reviewed too softly. The narrative around effort, partnership, and progress crowds out the harder evaluation of whether the channel is earning its place in the portfolio.

Tool's Overview

Most channel launches are reviewed too softly. The narrative around effort, partnership, and progress crowds out the harder evaluation of whether the channel is earning its place in the portfolio.

The Channel Post-Launch Evaluation Scorecard exists to make that six-to-twelve-month judgement structured rather than political.

The output is an evidence-based case for scale, hold, or sunset, the decision that should be made deliberately rather than by default.

What This Tool Does

This tool enables commercial leadership to:

  • Test channel performance against the 6-12 month plan, not just early signals
  • Measure true profitability after honest cost allocation
  • Validate incremental shopper acquisition versus the original hypothesis
  • Assess distributor execution and working-capital efficiency
  • Build a defensible case for scale, hold, or sunset

It moves channel-launch review from progress narrative to investment decision.

When to Use This Tool

This tool is typically used when:

  • Six months after a channel launch
  • At the twelve-month anniversary of a channel investment
  • Before approving the next coverage or investment milestone
  • Ahead of annual budgeting when channel funding is contested
  • When considering channel rationalisation or sunset

Who Should Use This Tool

This tool is intended for:

  • Sales Directors and Country Commercial leaders
  • Trade Marketing Heads
  • Route-to-Market and Channel Development leads
  • Commercial Finance partners on channel economics
  • Distributor commercial leadership accountable for channel growth

It is equally relevant for principal-distributor joint reviews of channel programmes.

How the Tool Is Structured

The scorecard is organised into five evaluation dimensions:

  • Commercial delivery — revenue, profitability, incrementality
  • Customer reach — segments, penetration, distribution depth
  • Operational health — execution, working capital, service standards
  • Market response — cannibalisation, competitor reaction
  • Investment case — scale, hold, or sunset recommendation

This ensures the decision to scale or sunset is grounded in evidence.

Before this program, our trade marketing team was stuck in 'execution mode'—constantly firefighting and reacting to sales requests. This course gave them the structure to stop fixing gaps and start leading the category strategy. They are finally operating as the engine room of our commercial growth.
— Commercial Director, Global FMCG Manufacturer
The biggest impact has been on our internal alignment. We used to have Sales, Marketing, and Trade working in silos, often with competing priorities. The Mini-MBA created a shared language and a single commercial rhythm. Now, when we approach a retailer, we speak with one unified voice.
— VP of Sales & Marketing, Regional Distributor
Trade spend is our second biggest P&L line, yet we were spending it on instinct. This program gave my team the financial discipline to actually measure ROI. We’ve stopped the 'surprise promotions' and started building investment models that actually justify the funding.
— General Manager, Food & Beverage
Our conversations with buyers have completely changed. We moved from simply pushing SKUs to presenting data-backed category stories that defend our shelf space. The team now has the confidence to justify listings and challenge retailers with insights, not just price.
— Head of Modern Trade, Personal Care Brand
What I appreciate most is the practicality. My team didn't just learn theory; they came back with ready-to-use JBP templates and Scorecards that we implemented immediately. It brought order and predictability to our daily work routine.
— HR Director, Consumer Goods
